„Separate entries for persons” means: separate entries of a given name with a surname and a byname, not persons proved to have existed. The same man recorded in four registers is one entry, but two namesakes from the same village are sometimes impossible to tell apart, and over twenty years a parcel could pass to a son of the same name. The hearths given at a collective entry are an equal division among those named — a calculation, not a reading.

No entry from 1789 and 1794. This is the absence of the surname in the cards transcribed so far, not proof that the family was not there then: in the card file the 1794 register covers fewer villages than the others, and the 1775 one sometimes counts a whole starosty in a single entry, without surnames.

Where the surname occurs

The localities in which the card file records this surname, with the number of entries and of the hearths falling to it in each village.

The card-index entries

All the extracts for this surname in the wording of the cards. One block is one occurrence: this person, in this register. In a collective entry the same text of the card stands beside every person named — because the card names them together, and they must not be separated.

T751 hearth4) cz. ~~Andrzeja~~ Antoniego Żurawskiego dym 1card 1)

The forename has been corrected on the card: „Andrzeja” struck out, „Antoniego” added above the line. I accept the correction (Antoni), the original wording remaining in the text of the extract.

T₀89holdingpledgecz. Żurowszczyzna zastawna Wawrzeńcowi Chromińskiemu ¹⁾card 6)

the same entry also names: Chromiński Wawrzeniec2 persons on a holding without hearths

The card gives the bare name of the holding in the adjectival form („Żurowszczyzna”), without the forename of its owner; I link it with the Żurawskis, because T75, entry 4 (card 1), records in this village „cz. Antoniego Żurawskiego dym 1” — this is a conclusion drawn from comparing the cards, not the writing of the card. The first letter of the name [reading uncertain]: a capital „Ż/Z”, without the crossbar which the same hand sets in the „Ł” of the word „Ługowskiego” in the line below — I therefore read „Żurowszczyzna”, and not „Ługowszczyzna”; further on „-urow-” is clear, not „-ugow-”. The index „1)” refers to L1 and to the explanation „1) ten sam” at the foot of the card: Wawrzeniec Chromiński, who holds this holding in pledge, is the same man who has a holding of his own in L1.

T751 hearth8) cz. ~Łuk~ Stefana Żurawskiego dym 1card 1)

Before „Stefana” stands a word struck through with a horizontal stroke, beginning with „Ł”; I read „Łuk” [reading uncertain] — probably a forename begun and abandoned („Łukasza”). The figure „1” underlined.
